As finishers place more restrictions on accepting finishing, we are forced to add more guidelines for finishing.

We are making every effort to provide wonderful finishing in a timely manner at a reasonable price. Our finishing process is not what it was in 2019, but what is in this world? Please be patient, clear on what you want, and be kind to our staff.

Blocking

If you stitch in continental your canvas must be blocked. Some canvases we received for finishing are so out of shape, they require blocking twice. Basketweave if done in hand may need blocking. If you do not bring your work in blocked, depending on the need, we will either take it to Mayflower Cleaners in Princeton, and charge you the cost plus a charge for our staff to take it and pick it up, OR we send it out to a finisher who blocks. The finisher who will block is not guaranteeing any return date. Either way it will cost more in time and money.

Fabrics and Trims

Please bring in fabric and accessories you want used for your work. Ornaments require an uncut skein of thread for twisted cord. A two-color cord requires a skein of each color. We have a limited choice of fabric for the back of ornaments, feel free to supply your own or choose from what we have.

Stockings and cuffs need fabric for back and cording. (Cuffs, obviously need more.) If you are choosing a velvet, do not choose upholstery fabric with heavy backing. All stockings need coordinating light-weight fabric for lining.

Pillows require a 1/2 yard extra fabric for cording. This is in addition to our pillow seamstress.

What can you do to help?

What can you do to help?

• Please bring in your projects as soon as possible
• Provide fabric, ribbons, and accessories.
• Have your piece blocked.
• Be clear on your requests.
• Be patient!

Please be prepared. Stitch gifts early! If you know you do an ornament for someone year after year, it is time to get started.

If you need help finding an ornament , please send us a theme and we will email you options. Write “Attn Bettie ornament” in subject line. in email write theme: baseball, snowman, candy can, etc.

Email Knitonestitchtoo@gmail.com and we will do our best to find you the perfect canvas.

We appreciate your patience. Please do not ask the store staff to call on any project that was sent out less than 8 weeks ago. Many vendors are taking phone calls twice a week at limited times. They will need to check with their staff  and get back to us.

Going Forward

We are still awaiting some finishing from last July! We are hoping to provide an 8 week turn around for standard pillows, stockings and ornaments; but cannot guarantee dates.

Our goal is to provide the best service to our customers.
